A chorus of 1,000 costumed to rep-
resent a living flag occupied an im-
menso platform at one end of the

TALK OF EXTRA SESSION.
President Is Sounding Kepnbllcnn Mem¬
bers of Congress On tho Subject*
The Atlanta Constitution's special
Washington correspondent vires his
paper as follows:
There is a strong probability of con- -
gross being called together in extraor,.
dinar? session. For some days thr
president has been considering this
and has, through letters, been sonnd-
ing prominent Republican leaders.
Tlie views of a number of these have
already been received, but it is prob-
able that no final decision will be
reached for a few days yet, within
which time others will bo heard from.
OMAHA “FALLS DOWN.”
Nebraska City I,ojes Nearly Forty Thnns-
and Fopulalion In a Decade.
Omaha, Neb., is the first city thus
far countod in' the twelfth census to
show a decrease in population during,
the past decade. The count of the
population of Omaha just completed-
by the census office shows 102,555.
The population in 1890 was 140,452.
This indicates a decrease in ten years
of 37,897 or 26.98 per cent.
CHAFFEE IS SILENT

Chineso Is the Cause,
A WAR RUMOR NEEDS CONFIRMATION
■ » *.,** ...... . .
Report .Stated That Husain, Germany niul
Japan Had Come Out With a Dec¬
laration of Ifoatllitle*.
A Washington special says: Up to
Monday morning the war department
had not rccoived from Gcnernl Chaffee
tho report requested of him a few days
ago upon conditions iu Pekin.
In fact, several recent cablegrams of
inquiry addressed to the general haro
not been answered. It may be found
necessary to call on General Chaffee
again for a full report for the guidance
of the officials of this government.
It. is supposed that the uncertainty
of communication between l'ekin and
Tien Tsin is responsible for General
Chaffee’s silence. The wireB have been
cut bet wet n tho capital and Tien Tsin,
aud it is probable that the messages
were sent by courier from Tien Tsin.
It is regarded ns very unfortunate
that there should be such difficnlly of
communication at this time. The de¬
partment is depending in large moaa-
ure upon General Chaffee for informa¬
tion.
It is not believed nt tho war depart¬
ment thnt Ihe two casunlty lists, one
dated Tien Tsin, fte 21st, nnd the
other tho 23d, were sent by General
..-Chaffee in person. . It is thought that
his name was signed ns a matter of
form.
A brief dispatch received Sunday
from Che Foo conveying a rumor cur-
'rent there that Russia, Germany and
Japan had joined in a declaration of
war npon Cliiua is not tskon seriouslv
in either official or diplomatic ciroles
in ,'From Washington.
; no official sonreo has tho war
-.department learned of the departure of
forty Americans from Pekin for Tien
Tsin, ns reported in a special dispatch
'to. a Lohdon newspaper.
-The war department also has taken
up the matter of cable communication
and lias asked tho cnblo company to
see if ihe Chaffee messages can be
straightened t/ut, nnd also* to ascertain
it tho messages sent to General Chnf-
foe can reach him, and if they cannot
be delivered, why. It is, of course,
recognized that the boxers are inter-
rupting the line constructed by tho
signal thaisame cqrps from Tien Tsin to Pekin,
At time, with conrmuuication
by cable with Shanghai, thence over¬
land to Che Foo by cable to Taku and
a projected line to Tien Tsin, it is felt
al the department that communications
should bo more expeditions.
A dispatch received at tho Japanese
legation front the. foreign office of
Japan conveys tho latest and most nn-
thentic iuformation of the situation in
and around Pekin. In a measure tho
advices were of a disquieting nature,
as they indicated thnt the Chinese hnd
rallied their forces and wero preparing
for an attack ( npon the allies in Pekin,
If it should prove that the allied
forces were besieged iu l’ekin it would
account for the lack of advices from
General Chaffee.

Bloodshed and Wild Disorder.
CITY BUILDING BURNED DOWN
In Melee Two Children Are Killed

In Akron, Ohio, the heart of the

prisoner aud in a conflict with the
authorities blood was shed.
Two persons wero dead and another
dying shortly after tho troublo began.
One of tlie victims was a baby four
years old, shot while lying in its car¬
riage. Many personi^were wounded,
more or less seriously.
Louis Peck, a negro, was put in jail
Wednesday morning on the charge of
criminally assaulting the little six-
year-old daughter of Mr. aud Mrs.
Theodoro Maas A report that, he had
confessed spread rapidly, and Wednes¬
day night a mob gathered. Not be¬
lieving the statement of the sheriff
that Peck had been sent out of the
city, the crowd sent committees
through the city prison and the county
jail in search of the negro.

ALL CHAOS IN PEKIN
Reports Reach London That Great
Fire Rages In Imperial City.
ORATE DISSENSIONS AMONG ALLIES
C hnfTee.Declines, to Taho Further Part lu
Attack on Palacoortlio Punishing
Of Chinese.
Advices of Thursday from London
state that fires, fighting and dissen¬
sion are apparently following in the
wnko of tho rolief of Pekin. The Lon-
don Daily Mail publishes dispatches
from the Chinese capital, dated os late
as-August 17th, declaring that a great
tire was then raging in tho imperial
oily. The Russian commander had
declined to accept the decision of tho
other generals, not to violate tho im¬
perial precincts and street fighting
was going on.
General Chaffee, so it is asserted,
maintained that, the Chi nose had been
adequately puuishod already and that
it would bo unwise to tako tho impe¬
rial palace. This explains tho with¬
drawal of the Amerieaus after brcakirijft
three gates, as cabled by tho special
correspondent of tho Associated Press.
Tho Russian general, however, main¬
tained that his government, had de¬
clared war against China, and that
therefore there wore no reasons to pre¬
vent him carrying hostilities into tho
sacred precincts.
Judging from various, and in many
eases contradictory, dispatches that
reached Europe Thursday morning
from Pekin, the commanders eventu¬
ally adopted a middle course, fqr ,a

POWERS GUESS
AT NEXT MOVE
Rnssians and Germans Have Al*
lies On Anxious Bench.
MAY KEEP UP HOSTILITIES
Czar’s Commander Says He Pro¬
poses to Go Ahead Regardless
of What Others Do.
A Washington special says: Thoro
is .treat anxiety in official circles over
the attitude of Russia aud Germany iu
China. The announcement thnt tho
general commanding the Russian
troops has .said he proposes to go
ahead with his operations regardless of
what tho other powers do, becauso his
government lias declared war against
China,'is considered by tho president
and his advisers as the gravost kind of
n complication, opening up, as it docs,
all sorts ot possibilities of continued
trouble.
Germany’s attitude is also being
viewed with alarm. While there has
been no statement from Germany like
that of the Rnssinn general, it is re¬
garded ns significant thnt the Gorman
government decliues to accept Li
Hung Chang as nn anthemed envoy
of China nnd that military prepara¬
tions are being rapidly 'rushed for¬
ward by the Germans. In diplomatic
circles thoro is a feeling that tho
kaiser and the czar have a littlo un¬
derstanding between themselves which
bodes more or less trouble to tho rost
0 f Europe, and which is likely to in-
volve this country so long as-we are on
the sceno with our troops. '
According to one member of the di-
p i om atio corps tho opinioti-prevails
that Russia and Germany consider this
an excellent opportunity to force Eng-
land to show hor hand and incidentally
to briug about a con dition which will
inure to their benefit in more ways
than one.
The possibility of theso complica-
tions was the chief theme discussed at
Friday’s meeting of tho eabiuet and
the understanding is.that it was do-
termined by that meeting that this
rgovernmont should take immediate
steps looking to a more definite aseer-
tainment of the views and intentions
of the European powers, and prepara-
t-ions to this end have already boon
taken, _ .• /

Tho navy department recoived tho
following from Admiral Remey on
Wednesday:
“Chk Foo, Aug, 21; Tnkn Aug.

The navy department understands
from the reference to tho palace that
the American troops, after penetrating
tho imperial oity, were, when the dis¬
patch wns rent, attacking tho Forbid-
dou City. The above dispatch from
Admiral Remey wns made publio at
tbe nnvy department Wednesday morn¬
ing nt 9:30 o’clock. In view of tlie
statements therein contained, it in now
absolutely certain that the eutiro city
of Pekin is under complete control and
mnstdry of tho allied forces.
It is shown thnt on tho 16th all tho
city hnd been cleared of tho Chineso
troops cxeopt the imperial city, which
had already been entered, tho Ameri¬
cans taking the lead. Tho troops were
nt the very gates of tho palace and
that, too, ore this, lias fallen.
The imperial city iB the last of tho
numerous cities within Pekin to he
taken. By ocenpying this the allies
have complete control.
The reinforcements are being hur¬
ried forward. Tho Sixth cavalry has
been mounted and lias left Taku ft>r
p P ki u . The advance is expected to
be rapid.
Borne advance the opinion here that
the allies will be penned in by the
Chinese and they will bare difficulty in
getting out. No credeuco iB given to
this belief by officials,
The allies in Pekin now number
20,000.
There is further gratifying informn-
tion that the allies left at Tien Tsin
are ab i 0 to guard that place aud are
keeping the Chinese at a very respect-
fuj distance.

POPULISTS
TO BRYAN
Nebraskan Notified of His Nom¬
ination at Topeka, Kansas.
MONETARY LEAGUE ENDORSES
Hr. Bryan’s Speech of Acceptance
Was Along the Line of That
Made at Indianapolis.
At Topeka, Kan., Thursday William
Jennings Bryan received the second
official notification of his nomination
for tho presidency. This notification
came from the Populist party through
Thomas M. rattorsou, of Colorado.
He was at the same time informed by
A. W. Rnckor of the indorsement of
his candidacy by tho Unitod States
Monetary League. in
The ceremonies took place the
state eapitol grounds and were wit¬
nessed by a large audiouoe.
In many respects the meeting paral¬
leled the Indianapolis notification.
This was true in the fact thnt both
wore held in parks; in thnt the weather
was intensely hot and in thnt the im¬
patience of the crowd compelled speak¬
ers preceding Mr.' Bryan to curtail
their remarks, and the entire cerems-
nies ended iu about an hour and a
half. Bain had been threatened early
iu the day, hut boforc the meeting wns
called to order at 3:30 o’clock, all fears
of a storm had vanished.
Many of tho auditors found their
way to the vicinity of the stand an
hour or more before Ihe speaking be¬
gan, and valiantly held their gronnd,
despite the intense beat.
State Chairman Ridgely, of the Pop¬
ulist party, introduced Jus. A. Trout¬
man, who made a brief speech welcom¬
ing Mr. Bryan to the oity. Mr. Trout¬
man formerly wns lieiitennnt governor
of the state, and is Republican iu pol¬
itics. llis speech wns personally com¬
plimentary to Mr. Bryun.
Mr. Troutman was followed by
Frank Doster, chief justico of tbe
state, who extended the welcome of
the stnto nt large. Ho had prepared a
spoech, but he delivered only a small
pnrt of it becauso of tho heat and the
evident dosire to hear Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Doster was followed by Jerry
Simpson, who was introduced as the
permanent chairman in tho absence of
National Ohairmnn Butler. Mr. Simp- .
son made a brief speech congratulate
ing Topeka upon being selected as a
place for the notification of Mr. Bryan
by a great parly as its candidate for
the presidency. Ho compared Mr.
Bryan with Lincoln and predicted
that lie would lead the people back to
the landmark of human liberty which
Lincoln had so materially assisted ia
establishing.
“Let us trust,” ho said, “that Ne¬
braska and Kansas, standing 'side by
side ns in I860, will again give tbeir
support ton candidate who lias, ns the
candidate of that time, had but ono
code of morals which embraces, as did
Lincoln’s ali men of all times, regard¬
less of color or environment.”
Mr. Simpson introduced Mr. Patter-
sou, who, as chairman of the national
Populist convention, became chnirmnu
of the notification committee. Mr.
Patterson wns received with applause
and many of. his points wero loudly
cheered, but, like Judge Doster, ho
materially reduced the length of his
speech because of the heat nnd of the
impatience of the audience. Judge
A. \V. Rucker, who conveyed to Mr.
Bryan tho information of his indorse¬
ment by the Unitod States Monetary
League, had also, to yield to the de¬
mands for a curtailment of his speech.
AVhen Mr. Rucker took his sent, Mr.
Simpson lost no time in introducing
Mr. Bryan, who was received with a
hrilrst "of applause'. ' Mr. Bryan read
greater part of his address from
manuscript and tho dolivery consumed
about forty minutes, but the crowd
listened intently throughout and with¬
out any manifestation of impatienro
or disapproval. When he ceased spenk-
iug those present were invited to
shako hands with him, and many
availed themselvos of this opportunity.
